  • The Far Side turns one and other blather

    November 3, 2009 @ 11:21 am | by Jim Carroll

    The Far Side marks 52 weeks on the air tonight with a two hour birthday special. I’ll be raiding the archives to rewind some of the boom tunes, new bands and favourite indiesyncratic sounds from a year of Far Side broadcasts. Tune in from 10pm on Phantom 105.2.

    Cork rocks: thanks to Joe, Stevie, Pat, Bootleg Mark and everyone else at the smashing Pavilion venue in Cork for a grand night out last Thursday at Bootleg’s first birthday party. Four damn fine bands played - Katie Kim, O Emperor, Slow Motion Heroes and The Impressionists - and I got to play some tunes too. Lovely hurling, boy.

    Bantertastic: thanks to Francois and Sunil Sharpe for participating in a fairly riotous and no-holds-barred Banter at the Twisted Pepper last Saturday night. “90s vs 00s” saw the two of them yakking - and boy, they can talk - about which decade produced the most thrilling sounds and nights out in the capital city. The bout went right down to the bell with audience giving it to the ’90s on points (or pints). You can relive the night on the podcast which will be live once the legal eagles have finished with it. The next Banter happens on November 28 and will be the pop-culture review of the decade. Full details to come next week.

    As played on The Far Side, Phantom 105.2, October 27, 10pm-midnight

    The Far Side on the road: I’ll be DJ-ing at Bootleg’s first birthday party at the Pavilion in Cork on Thursday (ie tomorrow). Acts playing on the night are Katie Kim, O Emperor, Slow Motion Heroes and The Impressionists.

    52 weeks of The Far Side: tune in for a special show next Tuesday night to mark a year of broadcasts from The Far Side. Of course, I haven’t a clue yet how I’m going to make it “special” but I have six days to work on this. Two hours of cover versions? Two hours of Far Side newbies from the last year? Two hours of Far Side’s favourite albums? Mmmm….
